Doh, Having two opposite conventions is a PITA.
But if I add my 2 cents - I prefer 1,000.00 because I think it is similar to commas and full-stops in writing, where a comma is mainly a reading/speaking guide to help break up a sentence (or in this case a number) and a full stop is a much harder termination of a sentence (in the case of a number the official origin where int/non-fractional part ends).
- gpvos 4y agoWhat is worse is the ignorance on the English-speaking side. We have been putting up with your stuff for a few decades now, and almost the entire population needs to know about it, while we see near-zero attempts to adapt from your side.
- gmfawcett 4y agoYou could argue that both ways. "Here's a big amount. That's a moderate amount. And that is a small amount, with a tiny extra bit." :)
- gpvos 4y agoI'd argue the decimal separator is more important and should therefore be more visible; the comma is larger than the dot and extends below the baseline so is easier to see.
